thank gawd spring is here. while it's dropped from 50 to 30 today, i know it's short-lived and anymore, it's these little things that mean the most. hey-- we've got daffodils blooming. it counts, dammit!
that was a tough thing to say-- that note about the little things meaning the most. i've always been a positive person. seems anymore tho, i've been hit with the tough-stuff and can't seem to find my way back up. when times get tough i get quiet and brood. so for quite a nice little while now, i've brooded! yeahhh-- i'm that girl!!
sure, i've still got a sense of humor.... lookout if that goes!! each month i laugh about the fact i get two+ periods. yes, virginia, there is a menopause. there aren't enough tampons or toilet paper to go around. let's not speak of the fact there's a money issue at home.... we'll leave that one there thank you very much.
i've had some interviews-- a blessing to get those. the ratio of apps created vs. interviews obtained is an ugly one. no job offers yet, but hey, i'm trying like half the world. i'm working hard at networking-- this helps but so far hasn't scored me anymore than one of those interviews i referred to. the hard knocks come when people tell me that i'm everything they're looking for but they've hired an internal candidate. my brother said it all so consisely earlier..... employers can get anyone they want right now-- and at a better price. further, and more helpful to me personally, was him also mentioning that employers are beginning to let those mediocre employees go because they have better chosing opportunities now (we're an at-will state)..... so what those mediocre employees lacked or under-performed at, companies can hire better people now and get more bang for the hard-working, better skilled, long-term buck. you get what you pay for, right?
sigh. ok enough. i think i needed to get that out-- whew! maybe the brooding ends today! :)
mom's doing very well. my kiddos are great. it's me-- i'm the sticky booger! ohhhh my... what would dad be saying right now?

Well the nice thing about menopause is that it doesn't last forever. I know, I know, it sure feels like it. You know, that could have something to do with your mood too.
The job situation is rather scary out there right now. I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers on that one.
I know when you are in the midst of all this stuff, it's hard to believe that there are better days ahead but heck, the daffodils are blooming. That has to count for something. ;)
